Luntes raps talk about human mindstates, sometimes introverted-abstract, then again in direct connection to the city and their residents. Urbanity as inevitableness, not as a farce. On the instrumental level the sichtbeton LP doesn´t move on the safe paths. Noisy pads of expanded field-recordings float through the songs, cuts peel out of the mostly laidback rhythms, dusty drums clatter as there is no connection, but the vocals hold it all together. The tendency to the large gesture, that gives the sichtbeton LP its outrageous diversity und credibility, can be recognized in the choice of the samples. There´s no problem with orchestral strings close to kitsch or passionate synthesizer-flutes.
